Teen rape survivor chased and brutally hacked to death by accused

Two brothers, one of whom is suspected of raping the woman, killed the 19-year-old woman by stabbing her to death in the open in the Kaushambi district of Uttar Pradesh, police said on Tuesday morning. A few days prior to the horrific murder, Ashok and Pawan Nishad, the killers, were reportedly freed on bond, according to the police.

Authorities said that the woman, who was axe-murdered in front of terrified villagers on the main road, had accused Pawan Nishad of raping her when she was a minor three years prior. Since then, Pawan (along with his associates) had been pestering the woman to withdraw the lawsuit that had been brought against him.

According to police, Ashok Nishad, Pawan’s brother, was freed less than two days prior to the young woman’s murder and is charged in a different murder case. By now, Pawan had been released from prison, and according to the police, the two had planned to confront the woman’s family and pressure them to drop the case.

The young woman was returning from grazing her family’s cattle at a nearby field when the brothers ambushed and killed her because she would not back down, according to the police.
Police also said that Pawan and Ashok Nishad are currently fugitives.

“Members of one party killed the girl with a sharp weapon during a dispute between two parties over an old rivalry and lawsuit in the same community. The accused have been booked after a police complaint was made, according to Brijesh Srivastava, Superintendent of Police for Kaushambi.

The horrifying event happened in the village of Dherha. Mr. Srivastava said that the police have formed teams to apprehend the accused and have sent the woman’s body for a post-mortem examination.

In the BJP-ruled state, the murder has set off a predictable political backlash. The state office of the opposition Congress shared a short video of the police covering the woman’s body on X, the former Twitter.
